Our spring hike starts in Riva and leads through olive groves to a small panoramic mountain north of Lake Garda
Image gallery: Hike to Mt Brione
Monte Brione is a hill between Torbole and Riva at the northernmost point of Lago di Garda - a natural panoramic platform where you can undertake a short but unforgettable spring hike through olive groves.
At the car park of Viale Rovereto in Riva del Garda we pass a papermill and continue towards the hill by walking along Via Filanda. We leave the village and ascend the terraces of an extensive olive grove. The small road (limited traffic regulations for residents) runs along the nature reserve of Brione, then we take a path along the southern face of the mountain. We walk uphill through the forest and enjoy the stunning panoramic view of Lake Garda which is immersed among mountain walls like a fjord. In late April this area is full of different butterfly species.
For our return we stay on this itinerary along the southern side of the Brione and arrive at the lake. We follow the promenade along the lakeshore of Riva del Garda to the car park.
